title: [Apolipoproteins-a cardiovascular risk factor within the context of syndrome X].
abstract: Apolipoprotein is now a new biochemical marker for evolution of atherosclerosis, even better than lipid fraction. We studied seric apolipoprotein A and B (Apo A, B) on 50 cases with complicated obesity, with ages between 37-52 years, and 15 males and 35 females. Selection criteria were: android constitution, obesity, essential hypertension (EHT). We also made statistical correlations on IBM PC compatible computer using chi-square test. We correlated glycoregulation abnormalities with body mass index (BMI > 25) with meaningfully value (p < 0.005) or with complicated EHT less meaningfully (p < 0.2). On this background, we appreciated the predictive value of seric levels of Apo A, B and Apo B/A ratio > 1. EHT correlates with low levels of seric Apo A very meaningfully (p < 0.0001) and this association is higher correlated when added ICD (P < 0.00001). There is no significant relationship between high levels of seric Apo B and EHT in our study, but it is significant for Apo B/A > 1 (p < 0.0001). EHT with seric cholesterol are not correlated (p:NS). Our conclusion is that seric Apo A and Apo B/A are statistical predictive risk factors for complicated EHT on android obese persons (X syndrome).
